Symmetry in mathematics — For other uses, see Symmetry (disambiguation) and Bilateral (disambiguation). Symmetry occurs not only in geometry, but also in other branches of mathematics. It is actually the same as invariance: the property that something does not change… … Wikipedia
Symmetry group — Not to be confused with Symmetric group. This article is about the abstract algebraic structures. For other meanings, see Symmetry group (disambiguation). A tetrahedron can be placed in 12 distinct positions by rotation alone. These are… … Wikipedia
Symmetry set — In geometry, the symmetry set is a method for representing the local symmetries of a curve, and can be used as a method for representing the shape of objects by finding the topological skeleton. The medial axis, a subset of the symmetry set is a… … Wikipedia

One-dimensional symmetry group — A one dimensional symmetry group is a mathematical group that describes symmetries in one dimension (1D). A pattern in 1D can be represented as a function f(x) for, say, the color at position x. The 1D isometries map x to x + a and to a − x.… … Wikipedia

Absolute value — For the philosophical term, see Value (ethics). For the Akrobatik album, see Absolute Value (album). In mathematics, the absolute value (or modulus) |a| of a real number a is the numerical value of a without regard to its sign. So, for example,… … Wikipedia
Translational symmetry — In geometry, a translation slides an object by a vector a: Ta(p) = p + a.In physics and mathematics, continuous translational symmetry is the invariance of a system of equations under any translation. Discrete translational symmetry is invariance … Wikipedia
Singular value decomposition — Visualization of the SVD of a 2 dimensional, real shearing matrix M. First, we see the unit disc in blue together with the two canonical unit vectors. We then see the action of M, which distorts the disk to an ellipse. The SVD decomposes M into… … Wikipedia
